 > From http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp:
 > > '''Rule 1c.''' Some writers and editors add only an apostrophe to all
 nouns ending in ''s''. And some add an apostrophe + ''s'' to every proper
 noun, be it ''Hastings's'' or ''Jones's''.
 > >
 > > One method, common in newspapers and magazines, is to add an
 apostrophe + ''s'' (''​'s'') to common nouns ending in ''s'', but only a
 stand-alone apostrophe to proper nouns ending in ''s''.
 > >
 > > '''''Examples:'''
 > > the class's hours
 > > Mr. Jones' golf clubs
 > > the canvas's size
 > > Texas' weather''
 > >
 > > Care must be taken to place the apostrophe outside the word in
 question. For instance, if talking about a pen belonging to Mr. Hastings,
 many people would wrongly write ''Mr. Hasting's pen'' (his name is not Mr.
 Hasting).
 > >
 > > '''''Correct:''' Mr. Hastings' pen''
 > >
 > > Another widely used technique is to write the word as we would speak
 it. For example, since most people saying, "Mr. Hastings' pen" would not
 pronounce an added ''s'', we would write ''Mr. Hastings' pen'' with no
 added ''s''. But most people would pronounce an added ''s'' in "Jones's,"
 so we'd write it as we say it: ''Mr. Jones's golf clubs''. This method
 explains the punctuation of ''for goodness' sake''.
